As a student, I use the Internet every day. Having grown up in the digital age, I know firsthand how critical the Internet is to my academic success. It has enabled me to learn independently and has given me the tools necessary to succeed. Whether giving me access to unlimited information or providing a way […]

I enthusiastically and unconditionally endorse two fine men who will significantly strengthen Auburn City Council in 2020-2022. Mayor Jason Levesque deserves re-election to an already successful first term to complete ongoing, forward-moving work. Auburn requires his strong business leadership and knowledge while our community grows its infrastructure, builds a successful sports tourism enterprise and attracts […]

Mark Cayer is the leader we need as the next mayor of Lewiston. He has proven himself to be an exemplary public servant — honest, hard working, and highly motivated to improve the lives of everyone in our community. In today’s politically polarized world, Mark’s proven ability to work across differences and get to consensus […]

I very seldom write letters in support of candidates running for office unless they meet certain criteria that I follow and believe in.

I am writing on behalf of David Chittim to represent Ward 6 on the Lewiston City Council. He and his family have lived in this community for over four decades.

Their strategy is really quite simple — […]

I write to support Katie Boss in her bid for one of Auburn’s two at-large council seats. As a former city councilor in Auburn, I appreciate the value of having a city council that engages in thoughtful dialogue, not divisive debate. Katie Boss’ candidacy presents Auburn with an opportunity for progress in this regard. I […]

According to that article, “Complaint details ‘Wall of Shame’” (Friday, Oct. 4) it says the “employees posted confidential patient medical records for employees to see, including photos of genitalia, in an apparent attempt to ridicule disabled patients.”  Wonderful.  It further states: the information on “Shame Wall was intended to demean and included supposed jokes about […]

It is obvious that President Donald Trump has some sort of obsession with what he likes to call “fake news.” He makes reference to that daily in either his tweets, at his rallys or when speaking to the press. Ironically, Trump is one of the biggest providers of fake news, and then he constantly complains […]
